M. Coetzee's \u003ci\u003eFoe\u003c\/i\u003e, Caryl Phillips revisits Emily Bront 's masterpiece \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e as a lyrical tale of orphans and outcasts, absence and hope. A sweeping novel spanning generations, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child \u003c\/i\u003etells the story of young Heathcliff's life before Mr. Earnshaw brought him home to his family; the Bront  sisters and their wayward brother, Branwell; Monica, whose father forces her to choose between her family and the foreigner she loves; and a boy's disappearance into the wildness of the moors and the brother he leaves behind. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillips deftly spins these disparate lives--bound by the past and struggling to liberate themselves from it--into a stunning literary work. Phillips has been called \"in a league with Toni Morrison and V. S. Naipaul\" (Donna Seaman, \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e), and his work is charged with the complexities of migration, alienation, and displacement. Haunting and heartbreaking, \u003ci\u003eThe Lost Child\u003c\/i\u003e transforms a classic into a profound story that is singularly its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-476604\"\u003eCaryl Phillips\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Picador USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250094650\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250094658\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC019000\"\u003eLiterary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC043000\"\u003eComing of Age\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-FIC\"\u003eFiction\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-FIC075000\"\u003eAdaptations \u0026amp; Pastiche\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaryl Phillips\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of numerous works of fiction and nonfiction including \u003ci\u003eDancing in the Dark\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCrossing the River\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eColor Me English\u003c\/i\u003e.
